I will cover some math that is necessary for the course. Here is some material for this purpose: prelmath.pdf . I will also start doing some of the exercises posted above if time permits.
I will do exercise 16, 19 and 20 from eldyn06.pdf and the two exercises contained here.
I will do extra problem no 1, 4 and 5 (these can be obtained here) and also problem 2.7 a-c in Jackson. There may also be some time for discussing the home work.
We discussed the contravariant formulation of electrodynamics and did extra problem 4, 5 and 9.
I will do some examples from old exams.
Some of you might want want to do more exercises on this course. Most of the exercises in Jackson are not very good. Here are some exercises and solutions . The exercises 6 and 7 on actions are not included in the course requierments, but may be of interest for the theoretically interested students. However, the rest is included in the course. However, if you still want to look at a few of Jackson's problems, I would recommend the following to begin with (solutions can often be obtained by googeling the web):
1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.10 and 1.12.
2.1, 2.2 and 2.7.
3.7 and 3.12.
4.1 and 4.6.
